Nerf Spiritborn. Expansion is a flop

Hardcore player here. I know its been said over and over but the game is basically unplayable at a high level for any class thats not Spiritborn. I have 100+ hours into the game and my Spiritborn can do everything, one shot T4 bosses, Pit 130+ and my gear stinks. (Remember Hardcore is way harder).

I rolled a Necro and with insanely good gear I can barely touch a Pit 90. Fully MW gear with crits. T4 Farming Dungeons is not easy and T4 bosses are a death trap. Barb and Rogue way worse. I’ve yet to see ANY character but Spiritborn since launch. I get its a new class but this is rediculous.

Blizzard should realize when 99% of the server is Spiritborn they need to fix something. Fix the barrier bug. People are all leaving the game after two weeks due to nothing else to do and no other classes to play. What a flop for a billion dollar company. Expansion had so much potential.

If you aren’t going to NERF the SB class, at least buff the others so they aren’t 100x weaker. Give them something. Oh and for the love of god put Scroll of Escapes back in the game… I’ve found ONE in 259 Paragons.

Season 6, worst season by far. 30+ Year Diablo player.

no other class is able to do the highend content. Your solution is to nerf the only class that can? Tell me you have a mental disorder without telling me you have a mental disorder

From what I heard all these players that are leaving is a load of crap. People do this every expansion every dlc every season. They claim they are quitting and wont look back and guess what most of them come back the next season and start the vicious cycle of dumb all over again. Lots of people are seeming to enjoy the game. Just because you hate it doesn’t mean all other players feel the same. SB is a new class you should expect this. This is how blizzard has always been. for every game. All the classes that came out for WoW with the expansions have all been OP when they first came out. Just how it is. Calm your self next season there were be balance changes and barbarian will get nerfed again as well I am sure and Druid will be crap.

You’re calling the expansion a flop, but you played it for over 100 hours? What kept you going for so long if you felt that way? Were you still trying to gather more information to decide whether you liked it or not?

Why must you lie? Lod gave us 2 new classes in the druid and assassin and they were by no means op compared to say pally or barb. This isn’t wow it’s diablo, y’all just make stuff up to try and defend this mess

Which is how many years ago?
It’s not North anymore.

What does that have to do with anything? Don’t follow the game/devs that made your company famous? Sounds like a great idea lol

Paraphrased: I don’t feel special as a hardcore player anymore. Please nerf others.

You can clearly see, its completely different.

I can? How is it different exactly?

You never played other Blizzard games in the last years?
All new chars are OP since then.
That’s a fact.

You cannot take a game of 25 years ago and compare lol.
What wild fantasy are you living in. Things have changed, as you said in this topic yourself.

Hey, you even witness it now. So don’t be ignorant next time by asking ‘what is different.’

Last diablo I played was d2 so why can’t I compare the 2? And he was the one that mentioned blizzard has always done this, I just corrected him.

probably hasn’t gotten a drop, and QQ over every little thing. Sees playing a time sink game as a waste of time. The irony is astounding.

Not sure what that means but get back to me if you come up with a reason.

You first need to learn comprehensive reading.

The PROPER solution is to nerf both the content and the 1 class that can do it since they are the outlier, not try to buff 5 classes that can’t while keeping them in any sort of balance. Your claim to mental disorder is just you being an SB player, not wanting your class nerfed. We see you. We just don’t care. The class is hitting for almost 500 quadrillion damage now. After the stat squish, this would be the equivilant pre expansion, of actually hitting a sextillion, a number set used so uncommonly that most people don’t even know how to write it out in numbers. The class right now, is mathematically 98,000 times stronger than the next strongest class. The first 3 days it was 1,875 stronger. Today it is 98,000 times stronger, and that number keeps growing as time goes. It means they are fundamentally broken and imbalanced, not that other classes need help. The content was all balanced around other classes, and post level 100 was DEEMED verbatim as “aspirational content”, meaning most people wouldn’t ever get to see it…a dream…something to hope for / work towards to the end. SB’s were doing 130’s with half yellow gear, no paragon points applied to their board, the wrong aspects, and without even using skills, and because they were allowed to farm at that pace for so long at such a high level, they acquired other gear that allowed them to switch to a spec even harder hitting than that. They are in a position in the game that is untouchable. This is based on math. Not feelings.

By blizzard’s own intention which was stated before the expansion even launched, post 100’s SHOULDNT be doable by most people and if they do, going much farther than 100 wasn’t likely. That means SB is the identifiable problem here. Not the content, and not the other classes.

So again your claim to brain damage? We can turn that back on you since you clearly don’t understand the issue. You’re NOT SUPPOSED to be able to do that content. That’s what BLIZZARD SAID. You’d be arguing with them, not us. Not only is it a problem because it’s an outlier and SB can do it, but that also demoralizes people and makes them NOT want to play other classes as a result. It’s a lose lose. Blizzard did not deliver in the manner they said with the content difficulty because 1 class explodes it to pieces, and then Blizzard also alienated all their other class players by making them be the only ones who have to be left in the dust and watch themselves be unable to contribute to any form of party, since almost everyone was effectively soft-forced to play SB to feel like they can contribute anything.

You my friend, have the worst opinion on the internet in terms of games. Expecting garbage development because it’s new is the most generation Z/alpha load of crap I’ve ever heard. You know…once upon a time…games didn’t suck when they were released. just saying. It was done for MANY MANY years. Even by Blizzard themselves. Your new mentality is what allowed them to devolve into doing it that way. Supporting crap development and not being up in arms when they do dumb crap is what enables them to keep doing it.

I have no idea who you’re arguing in favor of, but the irony of you stating this the way you did is mind boggling. I think you meant to say “learn how to read comprehensively”, or “develop comprehensive reading skills”. Some of you need to get off the internet and read a few books today. Mistakes are one thing, but the brazen misuse of words aimed at insulting someone’s ability (or lack thereof) to comprehend language, with the intent to demean their intellect, is outright hilarious.
